Our Moderators
Our Moderators guide participants through the Program of their choice, creating a space where the discussion and debate taking place promotes interaction, reflection, and moral courage. Presiding over each Program without bias or influence, our Moderators draw on their vast wealth of experience across many different industries, roles and walks of life to promote ethical dialogue between participants.
The Cranlana Method
We don’t teach leadership skills. Instead, we help leaders apply the skills they already have more wisely – by building clarity of purpose and ethical courage. Drawing on a rich history of philosophical wisdom, they encourage fresh and considered approaches to challenges – offering insights that, for many participants, will fundamentally transform their concept of leadership. Our courses are dialogue-based and immersive, bringing small groups of high-level leaders together for discussions that are wide-ranging and expertly guided. They are rigorous, in-depth and practical, providing high-level learning experiences and understanding to strengthen your capabilities as an effective and ethical leader.
